We offer 14 schemes relevant to the field of reproductive medicine. Laboratories enrol in the schemes relevant to their unit. 4 samples for each scheme are sent quarterly, per financial year.
Labs joining mid-way through a financial year will only pay pro-rata rates for schemes, but will incur the full registration fee.

Registration Fees
Registration fees are compulsory and cover administration and postage & handling. Discounts are applied to labs that are part of a group of labs.
We do not wish to send samples to central laboratories for further distribution to allied laboratories as this will inevitably mean delays and possible sample deterioration. The sending of samples to participating laboratories directly still means that shipping costs are incurred and hence the need for registration fees.
